correct answer to each of the questions.
Today the most universally known style of trousers for both men and women is jeans; these trousers are
worn throughout the world on a variety of occasions. Also called levis or denims, jeans have an interesting
story.
The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of pants developed. In the 16th
century, sailors from Genoa, Italy, wore a unique tyle of cotton trousers. In French, the word for the city
of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes, this name became attached to the trousers and
developed into the word jeans.
Similar to the word jeans, the word denim is also derived from a place name. In the 17th century, French
sailors began making trousers out of a specialized type of cloth that was developed in the city of Nimes,
France and was known serge de Nimes. This name eventually developed into denim, the material which
jeans are made and an alternative name for these popular pants.

III. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
As Christmas evolved in the United States, new customs were adopted and many old ones were reworked.
The legend of Santa Claus, for example, had origins in Europe and was brought by Dutch settlers to New
York in the early 18th century. Traditionally, Santa Claus – from the Dutch Sinter Klaas – was depicted as
a tall, dignified, religious figure riding a white horse through the air. Known as Saint Nicholas in
Germany, he was usually accompanied by Black Peter, an elf who punished disobedient children. In North
America he eventually developed into a fat, jolly old gentleman who had neither the religious attributes
of Saint Nicholas nor the strict disciplinarian character of Black Peter.
Santa’s transformation began in 1823, when a New York newspaper published the poem A Visit from
Saint Nicholas, which Clement Clark Moore had written to amuse his daughter. The poem introduced
many Americans to the story of a kindly saint who flew over housetops in a reindeer-drawn sleigh.
Portraits and drawings of Santa Claus by American illustrator Thomas Nast further strengthened the
legend during the second half of the 19th century. Living at the North Pole and assisted by elves, the
modern Santa produced and delivered toys to all good children. By the late 19th century he had become
such a prominent figure of American folklore that in 1897, when Virginia O’Hanlon wrote to the New
York Sun newspaper asking if Santa was real, she received a direct answer: “Yes, Virginia, there is a
Santa Claus”.
Câu 1: Who brought the legend of Santa Claus to the USA according to the passage?
A Sinter Klaas
B: Saint Nicholas
C: A German
D: Dutch settlers
Câu 2: Santa Claus was traditionally described as a
A tall man who could walk through the air
B: fat, jolly, old man

Câu 3: Santa Claus in North America was depicted as
A a man with the strict disciplinarian character of Black Peter

IV. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
A recent survey of crime statistics shows that we are all more likely to be burgled now than 20 years ago
and the police advise everyone to take a few simple precautions to protect their homes.
The first fact is that burglars and other intruders prefer easy opportunities, like a house which is very
obviously empty. This is much less of a challenge than an occupied house, and one which is wellprotected. A burglar will wonder if it is worth the bother.
There are some general tips on how to avoid your home becoming another crime statistic. Avoid leaving
signs that your house is empty. When you have to go out, leave at least one light on as well as a radio or
television, and do not leave any curtains wide open. The sight of your latest music centre or computer is
enough to tempt any burglar.
Never leave a spare key in a convenient hiding place. The first place a burglar will look is under the
doormat or in a flower pot and even somewhere more 'imaginative' could soon be uncovered by the
intruder. It is much safer to leave a key with a neighbour you can trust. But if your house is in a quiet,
desolate area be aware that this will be a burglar's dream, so deter any potential criminal from
approaching your house by fitting security lights to the outside of your house.
But what could happen if, in spite of the aforementioned precautions, a burglar or intruder has decided

to target your home. Windows are usually the first point of entry for many intruders. Downstairs windows

provide easy access while upstairs windows can be reached with a ladder or by climbing up the drainpipe.
Before going to bed you should double-check that all windows and shutters are locked. No matter how
small your windows may be, it is surprising what a narrow gap a determined burglar can manage to get
through. For extra security, fit window locks to the inside of the window. What about entry via doors?
Your back door and patio doors, which are easily forced open, should have top quality security locks
fitted. Even though this is expensive it will be money well spent. Install a burglar alarm if you can afford
it as another line of defence against intruders.
A sobering fact is that not all intruders have to break and enter into a property. Why go to the trouble of
breaking in if you can just knock and be invited in? Beware of bogus officials or workmen and,
particularly if you are elderly, fit a chain and an eye hole so you can scrutinise callers at your leisure.
When you do have callers never let anybody into your home unless you are absolutely sure they are
genuine. Ask to see an identity card, for example.
If you are in the frightening position of waking in the middle of the night and think you can hear an
intruder, then on no account should you approach the intruder. It is far better to telephone the police and
wait for help.
